Mexican street food for Rake events
Mexican street food in Rake, served fresh
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It works well for school and charity events and agricultural and county shows, with burritos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
For a village fête or field event near Rake, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Common questions in Rake
Which station should guests use for Rake?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Rake?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater in Rake?
We do. We serve at events in Rake and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens.

- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
